Description

Two classic Magnatone voices come together in the Slash Signature Collection Super Fifty-Nine M-80 45W guitar amp head, delivering expressive tube tone with the flexibility working guitarists need. This handcrafted all-tube design pairs four 12AX7 preamp tubes with two EL34 power tubes, along with footswitchable MKI and MKII voicings for a wide range of gain textures. Additionally, a British-voiced control set with gain, treble, middle, bass, presence and master controls allows precise shaping, while a tube-buffered effects loop supports pedal and rack integration. Finished in an iridescent Purple Python covering with black matrix grille cloth, gold piping and hardware, a backlit logo and Slash’s Skully emblem on a gold anodized faceplate, the Super Fifty-Nine M80 delivers signature Slash styling in a road-ready head format.

Footswitchable MKI and MKII Gain Structures

The Super Fifty-Nine M-80 is anchored by a 45W push-pull Class AB circuit combining two distinct Magnatone gain structures. The MKII voicing delivers dynamic clarity and lower-gain articulation, while the MKI voicing adds additional saturation and edge. Switching between these modes from the front panel or included footswitch allows quick transitions between gain textures. A three-band EQ, presence and master controls provide intuitive shaping, while the tube-buffered effects loop helps maintain clarity when integrating pedals and external processors.

Handcrafted Build With Purple Python Identity

The Super Fifty-Nine M-80 head brings the full visual language of the Slash Signature Collection into a compact yet substantial format. Premium construction, gold accents and signature faceplate details tie it directly to the Purple Python lineup, while the separate head design allows flexible cabinet pairing. It is particularly well suited for use with the matching Super Fifty-Nine 2x12" extension cabinet, creating a cohesive rig with balanced projection and stage-ready presence. Whether used in studio environments or live setups, the modular format offers both visual consistency and practical versatility.

Slash: A Legendary Voice In Rock Guitar

Best known as the lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, Slash helped define modern rock guitar with the release of Appetite for Destruction and iconic tracks like “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle.” His expressive phrasing, saturated sustain and unmistakable tone have influenced generations of players. The Magnatone Slash Signature Collection reflects that legacy, blending Purple Python styling with responsive tube performance. A perfect match for the Super Fifty-Nine 2x12 cabinet, the this Super Fifty-Nine M-80 45W guitar amp head delivers versatile gain structure, handcrafted tone and signature Slash presence.
